Dear Parents,

                           The children did really well on their first full week of Pre-K.  There was some nervousness and a few tears but by Friday everyone was doing so much better.  This past week the children learned "All ABout Me " as well as some Nursery Rhymes and of course the rules of the classroom.  During the upcoming week the children will be learning their shapes and the Sign of the Cross.

                           Please make sure that everything is labelled with your child's name on it. I ask also that if your child needs a spoon or fork with lunch that you provide one in the lunch box. 

                            I am still in need of a class mother. If anyone is willing to help please let me know. Thank you.
                   
        If you have any questions or concerns during the school year please do not hesitate to reach out to me. You can e-mail me at nonorato5578@hnomschool.org and I will respond as soon as I can. You can also see me before or after class.  I truly want your child to be happy and love coming to school. This happens best when both the parent and teacher work together.
 
                                                                      Have a great week !
                                                                        Mrs. N. Onorato
            
    
               My Promise To You
                     I promise you everyday your
                      child will learn something.

                                       Some days they will bring it
                        home in their hands.

                        Some days they will bring it
                         home in their heads,

                         and some days they will bring
                          it home in their hearts.
                                              -Valerie Welk
